The ArizonaCoyotes have reportedly parted ways with president and CEO Ahron Cohen.
The Coyotes’ ownership changed hands in June 2019, as Alex Meruelo took over as majority owner of the franchise. While it’s unclear at this time why the team and Cohen have parted ways, Morgan reports that there had been talk of potential changes to the business-operations side of the organization after said change in ownership.
“While there had been speculation about the futures of the coaching staffs and management staffs heading into this season, Alex Meruelo, who purchased a 95 percent stake in the team less than a year ago, gave John Chayka a contract extension in November and the coaching staff is expected to return intact next season, the final year of head coach Rick Tocchet’s contract,” Morgan wrote.
“There was more speculation in league circles about the future of business executives within the organization. When a new owner takes over, particularly one without a hockey background, it is easier to make changes in the business operations first, although it is unclear what Meruelo’s plans are to replace Cohen.”
Cohen had been a part of the organization since 2015, serving as the team’s chief executive officer and chief legal officer before being named president in 2018.
